Indigenous Engagement Workshops

Land acknowledgements are a first step in recognizing and showing respect for Indigenous Peoples. By making land acknowledgements more personalized, a person can demonstrate their commitment to reconciliation through genuine connection and empathy to further relationships with Indigenous Peoples. RDN’s Indigenous Liaison will conduct a workshop with your team to open the conversation about reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, how to personalize your land acknowledgement, and the allyship created from meaningful land acknowledgements.

This workshop creates a safe space to have conversation, create understanding, and demonstrate the power of connecting our words and actions to reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada identified 94 Calls of Action to foster truth, reconciliation, and healing with Indigenous Peoples as well as the United Nations developed its United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples framework for reconciliation, healing and peace with Indigenous Peoples. Learn from RDN’s Indigenous Liaison how to identify the TRC and UNDRIP Calls to Action that are relevant to your team’s work, how to include these Calls to Action in your work planning, and how to create meaningful allyship with Indigenous Peoples in your daily work.

This workshop is a safe space to have conversations, create learnings, dispel myths, and demonstrate the power of actions to create allyship with Indigenous Peoples.
